Remember you must always consider the TCO, however, also remember to realize that purpose and training is always a concern which adds to the TCO. Do your research carefully and make decisions based on the individual needs, not an overall "open source" policy. There will be times where a commercial product will have a better performance for your needs, and have a lower TCO. Then, there will be the opposite as well.
Hey! That's hilarious. Well to add to this, yup, I work with two other CPT/TNTs now... and of course, this post seemed exactly like what I do now for a living..:)
For a good understanding of networking the Technology programs at Purdue University in West Lafayette are great. They have a Computer Technology degree with a specialization in Telecommunications and Networking, as well as the Computer and Electrical Engineering Technology also allows some route towards networking. Would love to hear from other Boilermakers out there! Also, the Engineering and Computer Science programs are great as well.
Remember that IBM is a HUGE corporation with lots of departments and logical seperations of business. The internal memo currently seems to only apply to a portion, perhaps mainly for testing/feasbility etc.
Nothing better than those HUGE Jumbotrons or plasma screens with the BSOD. THe best one was on the HUGE jumbo tron on Paris, also saw it on plasma screens above slot machines in Luxor..
Gotta be very careful with jobs that require travel. At first it might seem like a lot of fun, but it gets old fast. When you are spending your free time in airports, and living off of hotel room service (novelty of it wears off QUICK) and driving rental cars in the middle of the country, it's not much fun. My job doesn't even require travel, but the little I do gets to me. IT consulting I guess is a good description of what I do, and business travel has taken me from large insurance companies, manufacturing sites to government. It isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
Finally someone has posted this on/. The "scrap metal" cluster thing has been around for a while now and I always thought it was a cool idea. Despite the claims of power consumption, etc the cluster itself seems to be a great research tool. Oh, yeah and GO BOILERMAKERS.
Remember that ID theft is generally a crime of opportunity. Given the choice between reconstruct a credit card application from a crosscut shredder ($50) or just go into a apartment mailbox or dumpster, I think the latter is easier. Common sense helps a lot, no need to lecture the obvious.
The "See ID" and other misconceptions are usually worse. Think how easily a fake ID can be obtained from any college campus.
You might want to remember something important... On IP330s I believe the Boot Manager resides on the hard drive itself and formatting/repartitioning or otherwise altering it might render the Nokia device no longer able to use IPSO.
I don't know if anyone has seen an old Intel Paragon Supercomputer, but there used to be one at Purdue University and that had lots of blinking light boxes on the whole unit that corresponded to processor utilitization.. Looked really cool til they got rid of it around '99... (Not y2k compliant perhaps?:) Also, I've modded a Compaq Proliant 5000R by switching the regular green LEDs in the drive trays with BRIGHT blue ones, used to light up the whole room. Server is forsale actually:)

Cowboy Neal is a Boilermaker? Any feedback from current Boilermakers using it at Purdue?

Maybe you should rethink your lifestyle. Should try enjoying life. Not that making things out of a battery tester is "enjoying life." :)

So are you in CPT or a grad,
:)
EET/ECET/CPET is better

I remember seeing this type of thing on several occasions years back on those electronics magazines and such..

Soon they will be going after anything with Money. Or might as well go after anything Windows.

I believe the packing material of a Sun E15k does include a 2x4. :)
